If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
