If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
