Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

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

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
