If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Ahuriri building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
