A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Petone building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
