If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
