If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Horokiwi building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
