Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Pakowhai building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
