If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Wadestown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
