It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
