If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

It will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
