If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Takapuwahia building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
