You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Mount Cook building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
