If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
