If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
