We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
