If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Iona building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
