If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Tawa building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
