If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
