We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
