If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Seaview building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
