It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Seaview building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
