If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences.
