This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
