If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Seatoun building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
