An Expert Building & Home Inspection in Petone

Peace of Mind

We will conduct a thorough inspection of the property and offer you with a fair and sincere detailed written report on the building that includes photos of any problem areas to give you assurance that the house you purchase can be described as being of the standard you expect.

The thorough inspection performed by a Petone building inspector usually takes between one and a half, and two hours on the site. However, we allow a maximum two hours for our standard pre-purchase inspections within Petone. In addition, we will spend additional hours preparing the report.

Our reports are precise, yet easy to understand in an effort to inform you as clearly as imaginable about your potential new home. You will be in a better position to negotiate when you are completely well-informed to make informed decision-making about your property.

Don’t pay too much for a house that’s likely to give you headaches with future issues. We are aware of the most common places problems happen, and will provide professional guidance on how to proceed.

Based on what you find in a home inspection reveals it’s possible to use a report to help negotiate with the seller over the cost or even repairs. Even if a report only uncovers minor problems, you are able to still use it as a guideline for any future maintenance.

What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Petone building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. 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 the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
