It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
