A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Takapuwahia building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building 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.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
