It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
