If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
