If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
