This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any 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 because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
