It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
