If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
