If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Te Marua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
