If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed 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 might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
