If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look 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 caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
