Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Hawkes Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
