If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Judgeford building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and 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 that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
