We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
