This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
