If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Parkvale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
