If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Iona building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
