If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Waipawa building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
