This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are 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 siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
