It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Totara Park building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed 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 cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
