If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
