If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Whakatu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
