If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Upper Hutt building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home 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 cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
