Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Wadestown building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
