If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
