If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Pukahu building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
