If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Wadestown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
