If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
