If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
