It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality.

Warnings & Red Flags

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
