If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Petone building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues 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 with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
