If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Cannons Creek building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
