If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
