If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Pukerua Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
