If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
