If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
