If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
