If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences.
