If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
