It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any 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.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to 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 your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
