If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Tawa building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
