If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Pukerua Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
