If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Mount Cook building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Mount Cook

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
