If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
