If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
