We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
