If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Seatoun building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
