It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
