A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Newtown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property 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.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
