This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
