If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
