If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
