If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
