The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
