If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
