If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Taradale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
