If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
