If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Bluff Hill building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
