If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
