We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
