If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Te Awa building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

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

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
