It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
