If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
