Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
