It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
