A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Kaiwharawhara building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
