If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Whakatu building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
