The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any 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 where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until 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 the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
