If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Haumoana building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
