If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
