A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Timberlea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
