If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
