If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
