We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
