If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
