If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
