This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by 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

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
