If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Hospital Hill building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
