If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
