If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Wellington Central building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.
