If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
