If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

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 search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
