Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant problems.

It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
