It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Maungaraki building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
