It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from 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 installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
