A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Waipatu building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
