This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

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