If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
