This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
