If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
