Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could 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 prepared by an qualified Pukerua Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

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