This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences.
