If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
