If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
