If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Moera building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
