If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified St Leonards building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
