If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has a significant issue.

This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.
