We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
