It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
