If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
