It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
