We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
