If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Tawa building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
