If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Iona building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
