If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Petone building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed 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 could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
