If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Marua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
