If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
