An Extensive Building & Home Inspection in Tamatea

Peace of Mind

We will carry out an extensive investigation of your property as well as provide you with a fair and honest detailed written report on the building that includes photos of any areas that are in need of attention to assure you that the house you are purchasing will be of the standard you expect.

The thorough inspection performed by an Tamatea building inspector usually lasts between one and half, and two hours at the site. However, we permit a maximum of two hours to conduct our quality pre-purchase inspections within Tamatea. This is followed by a few additional hours in the preparation of the report.

Our reports are thorough, yet easy to understand to inform you as clearly as possible about your possible new home. You put yourself in a better position to negotiate when you are completely informed to make informed decision-making about your property.

Don’t end up over-paying for an house that’s likely be a source of headaches in the event of the possibility of future problems. We are aware of the most common places issues occur and give you specialist tips on how to proceed.

Depending on what a house inspection reveals the house inspector may allow you to utilise a report to aid in negotiations with the seller over the cost or even repairs. Even if a report only uncovers minor problems, you can still use it as a reference for the future maintenance.

The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Tamatea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
