If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing.
