If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
