If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
