If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
