If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
