A Thorough Building & Home Inspection in Pakowhai

Peace of Mind

We will conduct an extensive inspection of the property in order to offer you with an accurate and honest comprehensive written building report and photos of any issues to ensure that the home you are purchasing has the quality you expect.

A thorough inspection by a Pakowhai building inspector usually is between one half hours and two hours on the site. But, we will allow maximum of two hours for our standard pre purchase inspections in Pakowhai. Then, we spend a few additional hours for the preparation of the report.

Our reports are thorough yet understandable in an effort to inform you as accurately as possible about your possible new home. You are in a better negotiating position by being completely in the know to make well-informed real estate decisions.

Do not pay too much for a household that’s going to give you headaches with future problems. We are aware of the most common places problems happen, and will give you expert advice on how to proceed.

Depending on what the results of a house inspection reveals the home inspector may allow you to utilise a report to assist you in negotiating with the seller about price or repair. Even if the report finds minor issues, you can still use it as a guideline for the future maintenance.

Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Pakowhai building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
