If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Takapuwahia building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
