If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
