If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Waipatu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
