If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
