If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
