This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
