If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Taradale building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
