If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
