If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Mount Cook building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
