If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: 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 won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
