If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Totara Park building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
