If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
