If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Totara Park building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
