A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
