If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
