This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting 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 your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to 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 cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
