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

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
