If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and 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 has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Wadestown building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
