We will conduct a thorough inspection of your property as well as offer you with a fair as well as honest detailed written report of the construction that includes photos of any issues for you to be sure that the home you purchase will be of the quality you expect.

Our thorough inspection by the Petone building inspector usually is between one half hours, and up to 2 hours on site. However, we permit a maximum of two hours for our standard pre-purchase inspections inside Petone. Then, we spend a few additional hours to prepare the report.

Our reports are comprehensive, yet easy to understand to inform you as best as imaginable about the potential of your new property. It puts you in a better negotiating position in the event that you are fully in the know to make well-informed real estate decisions.

Don’t pay too much for an home which is likely create headaches due to future issues. We are aware of the most common places problems occur, and can offer professional guidance on how to proceed.

According to what an home inspection finds the home inspector may allow you to utilise a report to assist you in negotiating with the vendor over price or to make repairs. Even if a report only detects minor issues, you are able to still use it as a guideline for the future maintenance.

Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.

House inspections or property inspections offer an objective review rather than what the real estate agent thinks is the answer.
Peace of Mind
Inspections of properties also known as household inspections are essential in the present time when purchasing an house. With the escalating price of homes and building maintenance costs it is important to know precisely what you're purchasing.
