If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
