If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
