If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Pakowhai building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences.
