Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Kilbirnie building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
