If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences.
