If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Mount Cook building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
