If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Iona building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
