If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
