If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and 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: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
