Property Inspection Report
As stated in the guidelines of the New Zealand Standard 4306:2005 which covers Residential and commercial Property
Inspections “A property Report should not be seen as an all-encompassing report dealing with a building from every aspect.
Rather it should be seen as a reasonable attempt to identify any significant defects visible at the time of the inspection. Nor is a
Property Report a warranty against problems developing with the building after the date of the report.” It is outside the scope of
this report to investigate, or comment on if the dwelling complies with any Building Code legislations or Local Body bylaws.
Some comments in this report are assumptions based on building experience, date of the construction or the visual appearance
and style of the materials. As this is a visual non-invasive survey, the condition of the internal framing is not known. This is NOT
a leaky home/weathertightness report - it is a non-invasive visual report only.
All HABiT franchises are covered by professional indemnity insurance with the exclusion of Swimming Pool, Total Valuation, NZ
Weathertightness, and NZ Earthquake.
Appliances, heating systems, spa pools, alarms, ducted vacuum systems etc may be noted however testing these items is
outside the scope of the inspection. Assessing the operation and compliance of open fires and wood burners is outside the
scope of this report as they are a specialist field. Both the electrical and plumbing systems are inspected however this is not a
detailed assessment with circuit or pressure testing carried out, but rather a visual inspection only.
Commenting on the structural integrity of any retaining walls or ground stability is also outside the scope of this report as they are
specialist field.
Heating
Heating systems are not tested. These may be noted however testing these items is outside the scope of the inspection.
Assessing the operation and compliance of open fires and wood burners is outside the scope of this report as they are a
specialist field. We recommend that all fires and heating systems are checked, cleaned and serviced by a specialist in the
specific field.
Electrical
We will thoroughly test the power point sockets which can be easily accessed and are in plain view, not obstructed by furniture or
belonging. The lighting will also be tested. We will comment on the type of the wiring that is visible in the internal ceiling space
and in the sub floor area, we will also photograph the wiring in these areas and we will also photograph the main switch board to
show the condition of this area. Please note, we are not here to conduct an electrical check on the overall wiring of the dwelling,
should there be any areas that are not functioning, or that appear in need of further attention by a qualified electrician, we will
state that in our report main summary area.
Plumbing
We will test all of the wet areas where possible, we will test and comment on the overall plumbing function quality and we will
comment on the general condition of the plumbing that will be visible in the sub floor or in the internal ceiling space. We will
provide photographs of the plumbing in those areas. Should we feel that there is further attention required on the plumbing by a
registered plumber, we will state that in the main summary area of our report.

General Description:
This dwelling is a single storey attached unit, built around 1985. Exterior cladding is
brick veneer and compressed fiber cement board. Roof cladding is pressed metal
decromastic tiles. Single glazed aluminium joinery. The dwelling is constructed on a
ring foundation with concrete piles.
Weather:
Cloudy & Overcast.
Summary: The summary is an
overall view of the areas listed in
the property inspection report.
Structural Defects that require immediate attention: No structural defects that are of
concern to the purchaser, or that would compromise the structural integrity and
safety of the dwelling were visible on the day of inspection.
Moisture ingress, or moisture damage found, these areas are: Yes. The area, the
extent of the damage, and the cause of the moisture problems is, High moisture
readings were found on the floors of the bathroom, toilet, bedroom one and hall.
These readings are a result of leaking black dux quest plumbing. The vanity water
feeds have leaked at some stage and also the toilet cistern feed. Both these areas
have been fixed but are still very wet. No structural damage has affected the floor
joists but the chip board flooring has swollen. Further investigation is required by a
plumber to replace the remaining black dux quest plumbing to ensure it does not
leak in the future.
Methodology used for moisture testing: Survey master moisture meter.
External area of the dwelling comments: The exterior of the dwelling is in a
reasonable condition. General ageing evident. Some areas of general maintenance
to be addressed which will be noted in their respective areas through out the report.
If these areas are not addressed they will continue to deteriorate and cause further
damage in the future.
Foundation Area comments: The foundation wall is in a reasonable condition both
externally and internally. General ageing and minor movement evident. Common for
our earthquake zone and for the age of the dwelling. Not of a structural nature.
Internal inspection comments: The internal linings are in reasonable, re-usable
condition. ( Includes floor linings ) The degree of cosmetic upgrade will be
determined by the purchaser' s choice. See individual areas for tasks listed.
All wet areas were tested, historical leaks were found. A current leak was viewed in
the ceiling space and Black dux quest was found in this dwelling This type of
plumbing was produced in the 1980's, it is known to leak in time and burst at the
fittings. The pipe itself also gets brittle with age, pin hole leaks then start to appear.
You will find that you may not get insurance with this product in use in the dwelling.
We suggest this is fully replaced. A plumber to fix mixer to shower which is leaking.
All power points that were easily accessed and in plain view were tested, one power
point in the family room is not working and two power points in the master bedroom
required new switches as they are damage, an electrician is required to fix these

areas.
The dwelling is insulated in the internal ceiling space as shown in the internal ceiling
space area. See the internal ceiling space section for photographs showing the
condition and layout of this area.
We recommend that if there are no smoke alarms fitted in the dwelling, this be
addressed, we also suggest that the batteries be changed in the existing smoke
alarms installed.
Alterations & Additions Comments: No obvious alterations or additions to the
inspector visually have been carried out. We suggest that council records are
checked to view the original plans of the dwelling to be sure this is the case.
Not all significant defects are noted in the main summary. The whole report is
required to be read in full in order for you to have a comprehensive understanding of
our findings.

recommend full replacement of this product. In having black dux quest plumbing in
