If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
