A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Houghton Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
