If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
