If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
