It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
