Buying a house may be your biggest investment!BE WISE. Have a pre-purchase inspection.Abbey Property Inspections is Peter Seton who has over 30 years practical building experience. Peter has an Advanced Trade certificate 1970 and NZ Certificate in Building 1974.We inspect 100 year old villas, bungalows, brick and tile, units and houses with many types of plaster wall claddings with a particular emphasis on ‘weathertightness’.A NZ Standards 4306:2005 written report is completed after an on site inspection. The report includes a list of any areas requiring attention with an approximate cost for repairs. The building inspection report will be emailed to the customer on the day following the inspection.A Lim report may not include additions or alterations to the building, work completed without a building consent or work not signed off upon completion by Council. Unpermitted work may result in expensive costs for purchaser.A code of compliance does not mean that a building is weather tight. For example- an exterior wall cladding system may not have been completed according to manufacturer’s specifications.For more details please go to our website or call us.
