If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
