If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" 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 may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
