If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
