It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
