If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Te Aro building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by 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 costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
