If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Houghton Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
