If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
