We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
