If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences.
