The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication 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: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
