If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Seatoun building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to 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 siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
