It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
