If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
