If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has a significant issue.

It assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
