If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified ?t?ne building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
