If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
