If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Lower Hutt building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
