If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
