If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
