This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
