If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Haumoana building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
