If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Pauatahanui building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
