A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Hataitai building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
