If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
