If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
