If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Seaview building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
