It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
