If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
