If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
