If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent 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 and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
