If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Moera building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
