If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
