If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Pakowhai building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
