It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed 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 pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
