If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Wellington Central building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
