If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
