If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Glenside building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. 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 be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
