It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Petone building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
