If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Newtown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
