If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Johnsonville building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
