This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

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