If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
