If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Parkvale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
