If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Birchville building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to 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: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
