We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
