If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
