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

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
