If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
