If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
