A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Upper Hutt building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
