If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Glenside building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
