This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
