It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Pauatahanui building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
