If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Iona building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
