If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified ?t?ne building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
