If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
