If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Arakura building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
