If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Maraenui building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
