If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
