If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

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