If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Waiohiki building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
