If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair 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.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
