If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
