If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Hataitai building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
