If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Tamatea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed 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, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
