The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
