If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Mount Cook building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
