This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
