It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
