If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
