If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Ascot Park building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
