If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Plimmerton building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
