If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Glenside building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
