If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences.
