If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
