If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
