If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
