A Comprehensive Building & Home Inspection in Petone

Peace of Mind

We will carry out an exhaustive inspection of your property and provide you with an accurate and sincere comprehensive written report of the construction including photos of any issues to assure you that the home you purchase has the standard you expect.

The thorough inspection performed by an Petone building inspector usually takes between one and a half hours, and up to two hours on the site. However, we allow a maximum two hours for our quality pre-purchase inspections in Petone. Followed by a number of additional hours to prepare the report.

Our reports are thorough yet understandable in an effort to inform you as clearly as possible regarding your prospective new home. You put yourself in a better negotiating position in the event that you are fully aware of your options to make educated property decisions.

Don’t pay too much for an house that’s likely create headaches due to future problems. We know exactly where common problems happen, and will offer professional guidance on how to move forward.

Based on what a house inspection finds the home inspector may allow you use the report to help negotiate with the seller about price or repairs. Even if a report finds minor issues, you can still use it as a roadmap for future maintenance.

What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
