If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
