If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Stokes Valley building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
