If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Te Awa building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
