If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Te Awa building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and 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 like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically 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 under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
