If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
