If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Hawkes Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
