If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
