If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
