If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Te Hauke building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
