We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
