If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
