If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, 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 house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Takapuwahia building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
