It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
