If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
