If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
