If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re 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 cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
