It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Maungaraki

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
