If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
