If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
