If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Haumoana building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
