We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
