If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
