If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
