If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
