If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Hataitai building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
