If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Petone building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
