If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Waiohiki building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
