If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
