If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
