It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
