If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Cannons Creek building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
