We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages 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 constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
