We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

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

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
