If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Ōtāne building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
