It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Petone building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
