If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
