If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
