If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
