A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

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