If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Seatoun building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences.
