If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Hospital Hill building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
