It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
