If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Ascot Park building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
