If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
