This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
