If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
