Our reports are detailed yet understandable in an effort to provide you with as much information as imaginable regarding your prospective new home. You will be in a better negotiating position in the event that you are completely aware of your options to make educated property decisions.

Don’t end up over-paying for the home that is going to give you headaches with future issues. We are aware of the most common places problems occur, and can provide expert tips on how to proceed.

Based on what the results of a home inspection reveals it is possible to utilise a report to help you negotiate with the vendor over price or to make repairs. Even if a report finds minor issues, you can still use it as a road map for any future maintenance.

The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Moera building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
