If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.

Inspections of properties and household inspections are mandatory in the present time when purchasing an home. With the escalating price of homes and maintenance costs for buildings, it is important to know exactly what you're buying.
