If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Wadestown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
