If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Johnsonville building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 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 have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
