This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
