If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Wadestown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
