This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
