If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
