If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Ascot Park building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
