If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
