If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Wadestown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
