If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
