If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home 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 pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
