If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
