If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Pukahu building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
