If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the 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: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
