The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
