If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Wellington Central building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
