If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
