If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
