It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
