It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
