If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
