If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Totara Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
