We will carry out a thorough investigation of your property and provide you with an accurate and sincere comprehensive written report of the construction, complete with photographs of any issues for you to be sure that the home you are purchasing has the standard you expect.

Our thorough inspection by the Wadestown building inspector usually lasts between one and half and 2 hours on site. However, we allow a maximum of two hours for our quality pre-purchase inspections within Wadestown. This is followed by a few additional hours for the preparation of the report.

Our reports are comprehensive yet understandable in an effort to inform you as best as imaginable about your possible new home. It puts you in a better position to negotiate when you are fully informed to make informed real estate decisions.

Don’t overpay for an house which is likely to give you headaches with the possibility of future problems. We are aware of the most common places issues occur and give you specialist advice on how you can proceed.

Based on what the completed jobs of a home inspection reveals the home inspector may allow you use the report to help negotiate with the vendor over price or even repairs. Even if the report finds minor issues, you are able to still use it as a roadmap for future maintenance.

What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Wadestown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
