If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture 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 the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
