If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Haywards building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
