If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Takapuwahia building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
