If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant issues.

It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
