Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Mount Cook building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
