If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
