If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

Warnings & Red Flags

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
