If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
