It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
