If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Parkvale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
