If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
