If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
