If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
