If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Totara Park building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
