Don’t pay too much for an home that’s likely cause you to have a headache with future problems. We can pinpoint the areas where most problems occur, and can provide professional advice on how you can move forward.

Depending on what an house inspection finds, you may be able to use a report to assist you in negotiating with the seller about price or to make repairs. Even if the report discovers minor flaws, you can still use it as a road map to plan future maintenance.

What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication 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 where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
