If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
