Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
