If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt 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, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
