This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
