If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Seatoun building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
