It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Petone building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
