If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Houghton Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home 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 and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
