If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
