We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
