If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Awatoto building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. 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: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
