If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
