If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Wadestown building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
