If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Pukahu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
