If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. 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 home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
