If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
