If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Whakatu building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
