If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified St Leonards building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
