If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.
