If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household 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 pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
