If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Pukahu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
