It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
