If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Flaxmere building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
