If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
