Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Totara Park building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
