It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Bluff Hill building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
