If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Papakowhai building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
