If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Flaxmere building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
