If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
