If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Mount Cook building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
