If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Waipatu building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: 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 piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
