If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
