If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your 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 homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
