If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
