This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
