If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued 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 assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
