It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Mount Cook building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re 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: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
