It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been 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: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
