If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
