We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
