If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Te Awa building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
