A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Pakowhai building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

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

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
