If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Petone building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
