If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.
