Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
