We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
