If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed 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: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
