If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

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

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
