If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Frasertown building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property 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 check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
