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

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Newtown building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
