If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Totara Park building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
