If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
