If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
