If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major 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 and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
