Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Te Awa building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
