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

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
