The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
