If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
