If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Seatoun building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
