If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
