If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
