If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Seatoun building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
