If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
