If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
