This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.
