If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
