If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Te Awanga building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
