If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
