It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
