If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
