If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
