If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Hospital Hill building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
