If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Petone building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
