If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
