If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the 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 for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
