If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Timberlea building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
