Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication 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 where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
