If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
