Weathertightness Assessments
More and more lenders are insisting on Comprehensive Weathertightness Assessments, Reports or Inspections. We have carried these out for multiple clients and they have been accepted by ANZ, KiwiBank, ASB and all other major banks.
Essentially a builders report with additional emphasis on cladding system assessment and noninvasive moisture testing and recording of internal/external moisture metre levels. This covers all the bases for your lender and provides peace of mind for you when buying a home.
It also gives you a good idea of the risks present for future issues and maintenance requirements of the property.
Non-invasive Weathertightness Assessments include:
Exterior Material and Design Assessment
This is a detailed assessment of the exterior design and high risk features that design may present. We also assess the material and systems types for defects or known issues that may cause weathertightness issues. This provides a professional assessment of the level of risk a home may have.
Non-invasive Weathertightness Investigation
Non-invasive moisture metre readings are taken in multiple areas both externally and internally to attempt to determine if any areas of the home are allowing the ingress of moisture and if that moisture has penetrated to the interior of the home. This can provide an indication of any weathertightness failure that may be present or provide some assurance of weathertightness.
Builders Report (residential property survey)
Generally these are carried out at the time of sale or purchase so a typical builders report is also included in the non-invasive weathertightness assessment. To find out more about our builders reports, click here.
