If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
