It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
