It will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
