If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Wallaceville building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
