If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Judgeford building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
