If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Houghton Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
