It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
