If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Haumoana building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
