If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
