If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
