If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Glenside building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting 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 piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
