If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.
