If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
