This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
