If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Haumoana building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.
