If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Wadestown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
