The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
