If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Papakowhai building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: 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 in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
