If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
