If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
