If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
