If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
