If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household 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 pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
