If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Houghton Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
