If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
