Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Waipatu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
