It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences.
