If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Seaview building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
