If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Kotemaori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
