An Extensive Building & Home Inspection in Petone

Peace of Mind

We will carry out an extensive inspection of your property and offer you with a fair as well as sincere comprehensive written report on the building and photos of any issues to assure you that the house that you purchase is of the standard you expect.

The thorough inspection performed by the Petone building inspector usually lasts between one and half hours, and up to 2 hours on site. However, we allow a maximum of two hours for our standard pre purchase inspections in Petone. This is followed by a few additional hours to prepare the report.

Our reports are detailed, yet easy to understand to inform you as clearly as possible about your possible new home. You will be in a better position to negotiate by being fully informed to make informed choices about property.

Don’t overpay for an house that’s going to give you headaches with potential issues in the future. We’re aware of where the most frequent problems happen, and will provide expert guidance on how to move forward.

Based on what the completed jobs of a home inspection finds it’s possible to use a report to aid in negotiations with the seller about price or repairs. Even if the report uncovers minor problems, you can still use it as a roadmap to plan future maintenance.

Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Petone building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.

Property inspections also known as home inspections are mandatory for anyone buying an home. Due to the growing cost of homes and maintenance costs for buildings, it is crucial to know exactly what you're buying.
