It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
