You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects 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 building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
