If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
