If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
