If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
