If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Petone building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
