If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
