If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
