It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.
