If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
