If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

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 areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
