If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Seatoun building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
