It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
