It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
