If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
