It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
