Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Ahuriri building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
