If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
