If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Waipatu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
