If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Karori building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
