If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
