If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Bluff Hill building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
