If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Haumoana building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
