You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Newtown building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
