This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
