If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Awatoto building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
