If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
