If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Haumoana building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
