Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.
