Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Parkvale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
