If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Wellington Central building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
