This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
