Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Haywards building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
