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

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
