If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Papakowhai building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should 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 will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
