If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Petone building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
