If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
