We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
