Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Tamatea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
