If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Seatoun building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
