If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
