If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Bluff Hill building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
