If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
