(a) This is a report of a visual only, non-invasive inspection of the area of the building which were readily visible at the time of inspection. REASONABLE ACCESS. Areas where safe, unobstructed access is provided and the minimum clearances specified in table 1 are available; or where these clearances are not available, areas area's within the inspector's unobstructed line of sight.

Property Inspection Report Phone Mobile Email: Page 3 of 61 06/05/2015 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.
