If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Korokoro building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
