The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
