If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Petone building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences.
