If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Pukahu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
