If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming 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 expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
