If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
