If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until 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 placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
