If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences.
