If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Tamatea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed 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 piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
