If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
