If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Bay View building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
