If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
