If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
