If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
