If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.
