If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
