If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Ngauranga building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
