If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
