If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
