If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Mount Cook building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
