If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.

Inspections of property or household inspections are required these days when buying an house. With the increasing cost of homes and the rising costs of building maintenance, it's important to know the exact value of what you purchase.
